This book was released on 2001-11-25 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Metropolitan Medical Response (MMRS) program has evolved from an idea originally developed in the Washington, D.C., area in 1995. Using the combined personnel and equipment resources from Washington, D.C., Arlington County in Virginia, and Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties in Maryland, the Metropolitan Medical Strike Team (MMST) received training, equipment, and supplies specifically designed to facilitate an effective response to a mass-casualty terrorism incident with a weapon of mass destruction (WMD). The first of its kind in the civilian environment, the MMST was intended to be capable of providing initial, on-site emergency health, medical, and mental health services after a terrorist incident involving chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) materials. The team's mission includes CBR agent detection and identification, patient decontamination, triage and medical treatment, emergency transportation of patients to local hospitals, coordination of movement of patients to more distant hospitals via the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS), and planning for the disposition of nonsurvivors. Building from the initial efforts of the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Area MMST, OEP provided funding for the development of a similar team in the city of Atlanta in preparation for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games. The U.S. Congress has subsequently authorized and provided funding for additional contracts with the 120 most populous U.S. cities. Tools for Evaluating the Metropolitan Medical REsponse System Program: Phase I Report identifies and develops performance measures and systems to assess the effectiveness of, and to identify barriers related to, the MMRS development process. This report identifies, recommends, and develops performance measures and systems to assess the effectiveness of, and identify barriers related to, the MMRS development process at the site, jurisdictional, and governmental levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do communities protect and improve the health of their populations? Health care is part of the answer but so are environmental protections, social and educational services, adequate nutrition, and a host of other activities. With concern over funding constraints, making sure such activities are efficient and effective is becoming a high priority. Improving Health in the Community explains how population-based performance monitoring programs can help communities point their efforts in the right direction. Within a broad definition of community health, the committee addresses factors surrounding the implementation of performance monitoring and explores the "why" and "how to" of establishing mechanisms to monitor the performance of those who can influence community health. The book offers a policy framework, applies a multidimensional model of the determinants of health, and provides sets of prototype performance indicators for specific health issues. Improving Health in the Community presents an attainable vision of a process that can achieve community-wide health benefits.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Download or read book Tools for evaluating distance learning education and interprofessional communication for physician assistant students written by Michael Sheehan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: According to the Michigan Health Council, the State of Michigan has multiple states which are designated as medically underserved areas. A majority of these areas are located in Northern Michigan, which includes all but one county of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The lack of medical care in these areas leads to higher morbidity rates, higher number of chronic diseases, and a higher age related mortality rate. In addressing the shortage of primary care, a physician assistant program was expanded to reach individuals who live in Northern Michigan. Literature supports the concept that individuals who reside in a specific area, get their education within that area, will stay in the same area after graduation to provide health care to individuals in the community. The primary mode of delivery between the two campuses is ITV for the lecture component, with faculty hired for the expansion site to provide the laboratory component at the expansion site. Originally, the purpose of this study was to develop and implement evaluation tools to analyze student performance at the main site of instruction and expansion site. However, due to a delay in implementing the expansion site, the implementation of the evaluation tools was not completed. In lieu of the implementation of the evaluation tools, piloting of the evaluation tools within the hospital community experiences (HCE) course of the physician assistant program was performed. Methods: The methods section will include the methods used to develop the evaluation tools, which will be used to compare the two campuses, and the piloting of one of the series of evaluation tools in HCE. Both formative and summative evaluation tools were developed using information in the literature review on the strengths and limitations of ITV delivery of courses and programs. The formative evaluation tools are designed to be assessed on a weekly basis. The summative evaluation tools are designed for an end-of-semester and yearly basis. It was the plan of this project to implement the evaluation tools in fall of 2013; however, due to the delay in establishing the expansion campus, only the tools assessing the formative and summative evaluation of the Hospital Community Experiences (HCE) was piloted at the main campus of the program. Prior to the HCE course, an interprofessional assessment tool was given to students through an on-line survey system. In addition, weekly formative evaluations of the HCE experiences were collected from students. Results: Responses from the formative and summative evaluation of the HCE were collected during the summer and fall semesters of the 2013 school year. The baseline results of the perceptions of other professions were given to students prior to the HCE course. These surveys identified that the profession of nursing was perceived as encroaching on the physician assistant profession, as well as the nursing profession did not get along with or utilize the physician assistant profession. In addition, the results identified that the students perceived that the medical laboratory scientist was not as concerned about the welfare of the patient as other professions. The formative evaluations (weekly evaluations obtained when HCE was implemented) identified that there was no specific observations of the nursing profession, both undergraduate and advanced practice nursing. The formative evaluations of the laboratory setting revealed an overall positive view on the importance of the medical laboratory scientist in the care of the patient. Discussion/Conclusion: It was evident by the initial perception scale that the physician assistant students had a negative perception of the nursing profession and the medical laboratory scientist. However, it was noted in the formative evaluations that the perception of the medical laboratory scientist was changing based on the students experiences with that profession. It was also evident from the analysis of the HCE experiences that the students needed shadowing opportunities with the nursing profession, which were not included in the current HCE curriculum. Based on these results, opportunities with the nursing professions are planned and these experiences will be evaluated based on the weekly formative evaluation process.

Download or read book Safer Healthcare written by Charles Vincent and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-13 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors of this book set out a system of safety strategies and interventions for managing patient safety on a day-to-day basis and improving safety over the long term. These strategies are applicable at all levels of the healthcare system from the frontline to the regulation and governance of the system. There have been many advances in patient safety, but we now need a new and broader vision that encompasses care throughout the patient’s journey. The authors argue that we need to see safety through the patient’s eyes, to consider how safety is managed in different contexts and to develop a wider strategic and practical vision in which patient safety is recast as the management of risk over time. Most safety improvement strategies aim to improve reliability and move closer toward optimal care. However, healthcare will always be under pressure and we also require ways of managing safety when conditions are difficult. We need to make more use of strategies concerned with detecting, controlling, managing and responding to risk. Strategies for managing safety in highly standardised and controlled environments are necessarily different from those in which clinicians constantly have to adapt and respond to changing circumstances. This work is supported by the Health Foundation. The Health Foundation is an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the UK.

Download or read book Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Education on Collaborative Practice and Patient Outcomes written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interprofessional teamwork and collaborative practice are emerging as key elements of efficient and productive work in promoting health and treating patients. The vision for these collaborations is one where different health and/or social professionals share a team identity and work closely together to solve problems and improve delivery of care. Although the value of interprofessional education (IPE) has been embraced around the world - particularly for its impact on learning - many in leadership positions have questioned how IPE affects patent, population, and health system outcomes. This question cannot be fully answered without well-designed studies, and these studies cannot be conducted without an understanding of the methods and measurements needed to conduct such an analysis. This Institute of Medicine report examines ways to measure the impacts of IPE on collaborative practice and health and system outcomes. According to this report, it is possible to link the learning process with downstream person or population directed outcomes through thoughtful, well-designed studies of the association between IPE and collaborative behavior. Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Education on Collaborative Practice and Patient Outcomes describes the research needed to strengthen the evidence base for IPE outcomes. Additionally, this report presents a conceptual model for evaluating IPE that could be adapted to particular settings in which it is applied. Measuring the Impact of Interprofessional Education on Collaborative Practice and Patient Outcomes addresses the current lack of broadly applicable measures of collaborative behavior and makes recommendations for resource commitments from interprofessional stakeholders, funders, and policy makers to advance the study of IPE.
